<VV> Electric Fans

[Mel Francis]

Jon, please realize that this situation has been going on for many years in 
Corvairdom and many folks have tried developing their own solutions, 
including myself.
Remember the comment yesterday evening, that this discussion has brought out 
strong opinions on Fast Vairs a while ago. They were concerned that this 
discussion would erode friendly discussion on VV too.

We've all been working with this very frustrating problem for years and I 
doubt it will ever be truly solved.
Now you know why Porsche went to water-cooled engines years ago.

Mel
